Using a new metric—“Energy Stored on Invested, ESOI”—they concluded that batteries were the worst performers, while compressed air energy storage (CAES) performed the best, followed by pumped hydro storage (PHS). The Stanford study considered a future US grid where up to 80% of the electricity comes from renewables.

This new class of batteries could enable continuous power supply from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar and a more stable, reliable grid. The Total-MIT research project is primarily focused on development of a low-cost, long-life battery suited to store the power generated by solar panels.

Monique closes her EV’s fueling port and heads onto the highway with enough stored energy to drive 640 kilometers (400 miles). The scientists found the nanofluids could be used in a system with an energy-storing potential approaching that of a lithium-ion battery and with the pumpable recharging of a flow battery.

This allows storage of charge at a higher volumetric or gravimetric density, which translates to a higher stored energy density or storage capacity for a given size or weight. Other work focuses on sodium as an earth-abundant alternative to lithium, but while it could lower cost, sodium ions also carry just a single charge.

Within their pores, the MOFs can store gases such as hydrogen or carbon dioxide. Suitable candidates include ordinary table salt (sodium chloride), the common salt substitute potassium chloride, or potassium benzoate, an approved preservative. It is even possible to use commercially available sources such as grain alcohol.
